Take a good look at that photo carousel above. Last year's contributions to our "One Day for Dawgs" campaign allowed us to take four Ferris RMI students to Atlanta to attend the RiskWorld 2023 conference. In May, we are headed to San Diego for RiskWorld 2024! Trips and experiences like this are made possible by your generous support of our experiential learning fund. Please consider making a gift of any size to help us reach our goal so that we may continue sending students on experiential learning adventures where they can extend and apply their academic learning and help us to fulfill our mission "to serve as a resource to the industry by preparing competent interns and graduates."

$700 Match - Sponsored by Sheila Nero, Kathy and Marco Menezes Since 2020, the Bulldog Basic Needs Alliance has provided emergency assistance to Ferris students experiencing food and housing insecurity. Knowing that struggles with basic needs have a direct impact on student success, the BBNA strives to support students as quickly as possible. We know that hunger and homelessness can directly impact academic performance, often leading to a lack of concentration, delay in degree completion or total withdrawal from the university. With 1 in 5 undergraduate students experiencing food insecurity, and 9% of university students experiencing homelessness, your gift will help us feed the next hungry student or keep a Bulldog where they belong: right here, on our campus. In 2023, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to provide 521 meal swipes to students. The BBNA also responded to a 23% increase in housing requests. Whether through meal swipes, temporary housing, funding for our campus food pantries or more, your gift to the BBNA can enormously impact a student's success. Thank you for keeping the dream of a Ferris education alive for our students.

Support Ferris State Football 2x National Champions Ferris State Football team remains resilient and committed to their journey of growth and development. As they gear up for the upcoming season and the off-season, the team is reaching out for support to fuel their continued progress. One of the key areas where your contributions can make a significant impact is in nutrition. Proper nutrition is essential for the athletes' performance, recovery, and overall well-being. By raising funds for enhanced nutrition programs, the team aims to provide their players with the fuel they need to optimize their physical and mental capabilities on the field. Additionally, the team is seeking support to acquire Catapult technology, a cutting-edge system that will revolutionize their training approach. This innovative technology enables real-time tracking of the student-athletes' work effort, allowing coaches to monitor their performance metrics, assess workload management, and tailor training regimens to maximize efficiency and minimize injury risk. Your generosity will not only help the Ferris State Football team bridge the gap between their current state and their aspirations but will also empower them to reach new heights of excellence.

The Ferris Cares Opportunity Scholarship was created to provide support to students encountering unexpected financial needs. We continue to expand the fund to include support for students facing challenges outside of tuition costs.

From supporting championship athletics to student scholarships in industry-leading programs, gifts of all sizes are critical to the continued success of Bulldogs everywhere. Your gift will have an immediate impact on the programs, teams, and students you choose to support. Help make a difference for Bulldog Students at Ferris State by supporting One Day for Dawgs!

The Osprey Web Cam Project Nest building and courtship feeding were among some of the details directly observed by students in the classroom. Eventually a variety of students enrolled in summer BIOL courses like BIOL 442, Ecology and BIOL 121 and 122, General Biology I and II observed egg-laying, incubation, hatching, and chick feeding behavior. To our surprise, the images reached out to more than just students enrolled in BIOL courses. It did more than bring the Osprey into our classrooms. It brought them into our lives. Recent repairs have all but emptied our account and we need funds to purchase a new camera and hookups and to pay outside contractors for a lift to gain access to the setup. The Osprey Web Cam Project is a true collaboration including people from Facilities, Welding, IT, and Biology. The 2024 viewing season will be our 16th year of operation and we could not have done any of it or continue to do so without the generous contributions of people just like you. Thank you for your love and support. https://osprey.ferris.edu/# Keep your eye on the birds.
